From my deck chair

The sun peeks up over the mountains around 3:45 am this time of year on the island.
Even with blackout blinds…I still know it’s up, and so do my little dogs. Today I am sharing the view from my deck chair.

 

It was going to be a gorgeous day, so I took my camera out to play.

I refuse to read the manual so I’m learning through blundersĀ exploration.

 

The regular Sunday morning sailboat races started right on time.
It’s a shame there was no wind but I still enjoyed watching them bob around.
The spinnakers are so pretty and colorful.

Light wind is supposed to prove who the better sailors are.

 

I spotted this big fella watching too.
Call me a simpleton, I am always excited to spot one of these!!
They fly past my deck at eye level but I can never get my camera out fast enough to catch them.

 

When I start to see the cruise ships slide past, I figure it’s cocktail time on board so…

 

fuzzy shot…wrong adjustment

cloudy Lemon Drop…organic lemon juice, organic simple syrup (home made)

There was a lot of day between sunrise and sunset. I didn’t jump to cocktails immediately.

I read.

I knit.

I napped, remember 3:45am?.

I walked my dogs and I made us a light lunch.

All in all it was a rough day.

 

The beauty of our sunrise’ is only rivaled by our sunsets.

 

Tomorrow I need to tidy up a bit. My Realtor is bringing someone over to have a look.

I wonder if they’ll be as intoxicated by the view as we are…and buy it?

I wonder if I’ll have a heart attack..if they do!
